UNSPSC 50417100: Organic sugar peas

The type of organic vegetable known as organic sugar peas

UNSPSC 50417100 Organic sugar peas, a Class code, does not map to the concrete scope of state and local school nutrition procurement identified in recent solicitations. The recent opportunities available for this code are school district food service bids for general fresh produce and food supplies—including fruits, vegetables, eggs, dairy, meats, grains, and prepared entrees for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs—rather than organic sugar peas as a discrete commodity line. School districts, county boards of education, and state departments issuing under this code are soliciting bulk fresh produce contracts that treat produce as a broad category of staples (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, peppers, onions, tomatoes, leafy greens, berries, citrus, and potatoes) rather than specialty crops like organic sugar peas. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, with the Georgia-based procurements (Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County School Systems) and the State of Georgia dominating recent activity; Texas districts (Northside Independent, McAllen Independent, and Austin Independent) and Florida's Hillsborough County also soliciting actively under this code. The mismatch between the code name (organic sugar peas) and the actual scope of work being purchased (institutional fresh produce in bulk for school feeding) suggests misclassification or broad code application by state and local procurement systems.

Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food bids (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ produce and grocery items for July 2026–June 2027 delivery; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026) with evaluation weighted 35% on price and 25% on extent of goods meeting district needs; the Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce (due April 14, 2026) covering 60 line items including apples, grapes, strawberries, and cucumbers to 16 school sites; Muscogee County's ITB 26-017 for approximately 60 produce line items (due April 27, 2026) with pricing based on USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News Index; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering fresh produce and eggs to 30 school districts in two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively (due March 4, 2026). Most solicitations require HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, firm pricing for 12 months with price redetermination mechanisms tied to USDA terminal market reports, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, and general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent opportunities reviewed.
